Alessandro Zanoli - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Looks spry versus Cagliari Zanoli (knee) had four crosses (one accurate), two chances created and one off-target shot in 19 minutes in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Cagliari.

Impact Zanoli had a good burst despite being sidelined for most of the year to recover from an ACL tear and provided a significant jolt off the bench, even though Udinese didn't find a late equalizer. He'll challenge Mergim Vojvoda and Hassane Kamara once he's fit enough to start.

On bench Saturday Zanoli (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Cagliari.

Impact Zanoli returned to the matchday squad after coach Kosta Runjaic confirmed he had worked hard to be ready following the ACL rupture he suffered in late January, with his recovery throughout the summer paving the way for his inclusion among the substitutes. The right-back is expected to provide cover behind Mergim Vojvoda, resuming the backup role he had filled previously as he builds his match sharpness after such a lengthy absence. He scored once, assisted twice and notched 15 chances created, 39 crosses and 25 tackles across 19 appearances last season, and Udinese will manage his minutes carefully as he works his way back.

Probable for Cagliari fixture Zanoli (knee) "has worked hard to be ready to play this week, and I think he'll be able to do so," coach Kosta Runjaic announced.

Mergim Vojvoda has replaced Kingsley Ehizibue as the starter at the position, with Oier Zarraga and Nicolo Bertola as his deputies for the time being.

Suffers ACL tear Zanoli had surgery to repair a ruptured ACL in his right knee, Udinese relayed.

He ends his campaign with 15 key passes, 39 crosses (12 accurate) and 36 clearances in 19 appearances. He'll work toward being ready for the next opener.

Genoa don't have many alternatives with Ruslan Malinovskyi (ankle) and Caleb Ekuban (undisclosed) out of commission and Vitinha (undisclosed) iffy.
